Hi, Mike.
If you can't find 'Cat' or 'Caterpillar' badges and stickers on it, walk away.
Another thing worth remembering is:
"If it's got tires or tracks, it's trouble."
After that, all you need to do is work out whether you need the tires or tracks enough to put up with the trouble.
Case 1450's did have some rear end problems. Best way to avoid them is to NOT think you've got a Cat D9 and operate it like the Case it is.
Pull ALL the dipsticks and feel the oil on them. If it feels even slightly gritty or sticky, walk away. Diesel engine oil is commonly plain black. Any gritty feel or discolouration is bad news. Smear some oil from each dipstick thinly over your finger, hold it in the light and look for any signs of metal. Iridescent oil is NOT much in fashion these days.
Check the radiator water for additive and for oil. Check the batteries too. Low water level here is a sign that the current owner's maintenance may not have been as good as it could be.
Another sign is whether or not there is relatively fresh grease around the various pivot points of any attachments -- assuming there are grease points fitted.
Happy hunting.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Today's Featured Article - It Can't Be Done! - A Tractor Story - by Neil Campbell. I'll never forget the time back when I was a boy baling hay on our Farm in Big Rapid, Michigan. The most memorable event that took place was a trip up the steepest incline on the farm pulling an old New-Idea baler with a pony-motor for power and a haywagon. I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally ... [Read Article]
